For Mr. Goyette!

[Bob Hegwood]

To Don, and anybody else who cares about such things...

Celestia has an interesting bug in the cel scripting language that I
just thought I'd make you aware of.

You should speed up the time rate in a script using the timerate command as follows:

timerate {rate 500.0}

I've found (because I'm sometimes an idiot) that you can also type:

timerate {time 500.0}

and Celestia will give you no indication that there is anything
wrong with the command. Celestia will happily continue processing the
script without complaining, and without executing the
command.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Take care, Bob

In .cel scripts, Celestia will ignore all the parameters it doesn't understand and use defaults for the ones you don't specify. I think that the default rate for the timerate command is 1.
